Zip is fine (I prefer 7z), until you want to preserve attributes like ownership and read/write/execute rights.
Some zip programs support saving unix attributes, other - do not. So when you download a zip file from the internet - it’s always a gamble.
Tar + gzip/bz2/xz is more Linux-friendly in that regard.
Also, zip compresses each file separately and then collects all of them in one archive.
Tar collects all the files first, then you compress the tarball into an archive, which is more efficient and produces smaller size.
mod+shift+q
so you wouldn’t close hours of work by accident (e.g. when typing other mod+_
keybinds)
In theory this issue can be solved with LD_PRELOAD trick. E.g. redirect all/most/some fopen
calls to “$HOME” to some other directory. But before I try to tackle it myself: is there already a similar solution like that?
I don’t understand.
How is it hard to remember: “eXtract File” = “tar xf …”?
If tar is gZipped - it’s “tar xzf …”.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen tarball that wouldn’t work with one of these two commands.
I have pretty minimalistic setup.
Three dropdown terminals, managed by a bash script: top for quick commands, left and right for nvim.
Bar is i3bar, with a custom status program written in Nim language (can display any command output with conditional colors).
For a lot of people Ubuntu is the linux. Canonical is just good at marketing. For all it worth, Ubuntu is not the bad choice for average user who’s not into ricing and not bothered by bloat.
I’ve been using Arch and Manjaro for couple years each and in my experience they both break regularly. But, for some weird reason, Arch Linux is praised, when Manjaro is shamed upon.
Aren’t we all?
